Sightseeing in Upcountry











A MASSIVE breakfast at the Sea House Restaurant, overlooking Napili Bay, so we don't have to eat for days! French toast, bacon, pineapple, omelets..FAB! On the road and a drive to Wailuku & the beautiful IAO Valley state park. We all love it, as usual, with the needle, streams & the history of it all. Ahhh, that stream is soothing to the feet! Load up and head toward Paia & up to Makawao for a cool drink & directions to the Tedeschi Winery at the Ulupalakua Ranch. It's a wonderful 30 minute drive to the winery along a 2000' ridge, overlooking the Pacific, south Maui & Molokini..WHAT A VIEW! The traffic up here is much lighter & it's a little cooler too, with many changes in the trees & plants. We get there & partake in some wine tasting..4 is the limit...purchase a couple of bottles & head back down to the Pacific Whale Foundation & some shopping. Into Old Lahaina Town, where the Spears want to look at some artworks. Kevin "almost" buys an original, but finally, no deal! Down to the HUGE Banyan tree and watch the people off-loading/ on-loading to a big cruise ship in the harbor--the town is packed with shoppers! OH, and a Dairy Queen for lunch. Back to the rooms by 6:00 & a "date" for 7:00 to have dinner at the Sea House at the Napili Kai Resort. Another great meal, macadamia nut crusted Mahi-Mahi, the mixed grill, and a fisherman's stew..all of then FAB!(And those cute umbrella drinks & wine.) We're stuffed, so back to the room to download Kevin & Marty's pics from their camera...SUCCESS! Kevin will get up at 4:30 and head over to Wailea for his meetings that start at 7:00. We'll take Marty to the airport for a 1:00 flight back to Hotlanta & probly go snorkeling somewhere on our way back.
